In Episode 03 of Neurodivergent Musicians, Jon Hart explores how neurodivergent musicians can approach learning an instrument in a way that works with ADHD, autism, dyslexia and other neurodivergent traits.
From masking in traditional music education to sensory overwhelm, executive dysfunction and dopamine driven motivation, this episode reframes how neurodivergent creatives can build skill without losing joy. Jon shares lived experience of rigid teaching methods, long term burnout, inspiration through influence, and how identity in music develops over time.
Whether you are an ADHD guitarist, autistic pianist, dyslexic songwriter or parent of a neurodivergent learner, this episode offers perspective on sustainable music learning, creative autonomy and finding your own sound.
